Key Takeaways from 12 Inspiring Days


It’s Saturday, August 3, and I find myself reflecting on an extraordinary 12-day stretch along my journey. Consequently, I feel duty-bound to share some key takeaways that I’ve found impactful. To begin, I learned a lot and made several valuable connections with individuals such as Phyllis Houston, MSOL, and Nicole Wagner, to name a few. Next, I saw a phenomenal keynote speech by Shawn Achor at ThoughtSpot. Wow! Shawn’s talk had the audience spellbound as he delivered a positive, uplifting (with a twist of humor), and a call to action centered around joy, gratitude, and acts of kindness. Never in a million years did I think lightning bugs and success could have so much in common. By that, I mean, “The more you help people find their light…the brighter you both will shine.” -Shawn Achor. Also, make it a daily habit to text two people that made a difference in your life how much you appreciate them. Not surprisingly, I purchased Shawn’s most recent book, "Big Potential." I am halfway through, and it’s a nice read. If you’ve read this book, feel free to DM me, and let’s have a discussion. To end on a lighter note, I think I may visit Harvard University to witness the next “The Primal Scream.” LOL! hashtagharvard hashtagmotivation
